You will hear a woman phoning to inquire about exhibition information. First, you have some time to look at questions one to four. 00:00:40,360 You will see that there is an example that has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first. 00:00:52,920 Good morning. You're through to the events coordinator at the Birmingham City Council. How may I help you? 00:00:59,500 Hello there. My husband and I are interested in purchasing tickets to the automobile exhibition, but I couldn't find many details about it on your website, and I was wondering whether you could provide me with some more information. Does it open in June? 00:01:18,260 The purpose of calling is to purchase tickets, so purchasing has been written in the space. Now we shall begin. 00:01:28,300 You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. 00:01:35,220 Listen carefully and answer questions one to four. 00:01:41,400 Good morning. You're through to the events coordinator at the Birmingham City Council. How may I help you? 00:01:48,060 Hello there. My husband and I are interested in purchasing tickets to the automobile exhibition, but I couldn't find many details about it on your website, and I was wondering whether you could provide me with some more information. Does it open in June? 00:02:04,340 Yes, of course, madam. The exhibition will take place during July and will showcase the history of automobiles from the very first commercial car in the late eighteen hundreds all the way through to the present day. 00:02:18,580 Is the exhibition open for the duration of July? 00:02:22,060 No, madam. The exhibition will last 3 days from the first of July to the 3rd of July, and then the cars will be taken to another exhibition. 00:02:32,300 Okay. Does the exhibition focus on a certain manufacturer? 00:02:37,300 No. It will showcase a wide range of manufacturers. 00:02:41,700 Wonderful. I'm ever so fed up of going to these shows and only seeing one manufacturer. Are there any opportunities to sit in or even drive the cars? 00:02:52,590 There will be many opportunities for you to sit in the cars. However, some of the cars will only be available to observe. 00:03:00,140 We are yet to be told whether any of the antique cars will be available to drive. However, there will certainly be an opportunity to test driving some of the more modern cars on a purpose-built track. 00:03:12,260 That sounds like great fun. I mustn't forget to bring my camera or my husband will never forgive me. 00:03:19,240 I'm afraid to say that cameras are actually strictly not allowed to bring into the exhibition. There will, however, be a section where a professional photographer will be available to take photos of you sitting in a car in period clothing. 00:03:34,180 Well, that sounds like it could be fun, but I assume the photos won't be free. 00:03:39,500 On the contrary, one free photograph is included within every ticket, but each photo after this will cost five pounds. 00:03:50,600 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions five to ten. 00:04:16,760 Now listen and answer questions five to ten. 00:04:22,720 That's a nice surprise. Not many things are free anymore. 00:04:27,320 I've been asking around about the ticket prices, but I haven't yet had a definite answer. Is it correct that the tickets are 100 pounds whether you buy them now or on arrival? 00:04:39,500 I'm afraid not. If you buy the ticket in advance, the price is 110 pounds, but it's 165 pounds on the door. 00:04:48,420 Oh, goodness. I suppose I best pay for them now then. Is it possible to buy tickets from you now over the phone? 00:04:56,500 Yes, of course, madam. I'll transfer you to the box office manager, Mark Edgeworth. That's E-D-G-E-W-O-R-T-H, and he will probably need to take your credit card details and some personal details. 00:05:15,280 Yes, that's fine. Before you transfer me, I just need to ask a few more questions. Will the exhibition be held in the Birmingham Exhibition Center? I think that's where I went last time. 00:05:28,580 No, madam. The Birmingham Exhibition Center is currently undergoing some renovations, so this year all exhibitions will be held in the Summer Palace. 00:05:38,280 Summer Palace? I'm not entirely sure where that is. 00:05:42,920 Well, it's not too far from city center. Once you're in the center, you should be able to find signs for the palace. If not, most people in Birmingham will be able to direct you. 00:05:53,920 Mm, neither my husband nor I am particularly good with directions. Is there anywhere I can find this information on the Internet? 00:06:02,900 Our website will give you an address. Perhaps you could visit www.directions.com for more detailed information, and they should be able to provide you with step-by-step instructions. 00:06:17,520 Okay. And is this the best way to contact you by phone? 00:06:22,560 I think the most convenient way to contact us is inquiring online, which is much simpler than having to dial various different numbers to reach the right person. Unless you have any more questions, I'll transfer you now. 00:06:37,080 No, that's great. Thank you for your help. 00:06:42,900 That is the end of section one. 00:06:46,100 You now have half a minute to check your answers. ## 题目与答案 ### 1. - open in: 1_____ - open in: 1_____ **答案**：July 原文定位：Does it open in June;The exhibition will take place during July and will showcase the history of automobiles from the very first commercial car in the late eighteen hundreds all the way through to the present day 同义替换：「open in」↔「take place」 ### 10. - Best way to contact: 10_____ - Best way to contact: 10_____ **答案**：online 原文定位：I think the most convenient way to contact us is inquiring online, which is much simpler than having to dial various different numbers to reach the right person 同义替换：「Best way」↔「the most convenient way」 ### 2. - Length of the exhibition: 2_____ - Length of the exhibition: 2_____ **答案**：3 days 原文定位：No, madam.
